Rath had a good reason for bowing out: Her other pilot, Fox’s The Guide to Surviving Life, was also ordered to series (and was in first position to Talking).

People Are Talking, which will air Fridays at 8:30/7:30c this fall, follows two diverse couples (Tone Bell and Bresha Webb play the other duo) who are both neighbors and best friends. As they go through life side-by-side, they can’t help but analyze and obsess about everything. From topics like sex and race, to the fact that the trusted new babysitter might just be a porn star, nothing is out of bounds for this wildly outspoken foursome.

Lachey most recently had a starring role in the NBC’s ill-fated comedy pilot Not Safe For Work.
